Great conversation — building a solid cash buyer network can definitely be one of the harder steps in the beginning.Many investors I connect with in the DFW area use a combination of public records, local networking, and relationships with active flippers or agents who deal with distressed properties.I also work with a verified group of active cash buyers in DFW, and I always like connecting with wholesalers who are focused on long-term relationships rather than mass blasting deals.

Combining banking with accounting was a game changer, and cleans up the part that so many property managers do as an afterthought.

Combining that with flexible closing terms and quick inspections has really helped give our offers an edge.

This, combined with the promise of a cosmetic-only rehab and a 100% cash-out refi, sounds like a perfect-world sales pitch.

If I had to choose, I’d lean toward appreciation and long-term stability over maximum cash flow, but ideally I’d find a combination of both.For lifestyle reasons, I’d love to be as close to Scottsdale as possible.

My spouse and I make around $150k combined, we both have stable jobs, and we have a decent amount of savings.

Hi @Dylan Jashari, For cash deals, start by combining public data sources like county tax records, foreclosure filings, and code enforcement notices, into a central dashboard.

Personally, I’ve shifted towards a more balanced strategy, combining both short-term projects like flipping with long-term investments to hedge against market fluctuations.

You can also combine other strategies to maximize cash flow (MTR, STR, and rent by the room).
